🚀 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐍𝐞𝐰𝐬: Trees Made Me Cooler—Literally. I’ve always believed trees are nature’s underrated heroes. But this summer, in Berlin, they didn’t just make the city cooler—they made me cooler too. Here's the deal: my research report is now published on the Technische Universität Berlin website! 🎉 𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭: https://lnkd.in/g6Jz8mTV (Yes, my imposter syndrome has been silenced for the moment!) 🙏 𝐌𝐲 𝐂𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞 Some say it takes a village to write a research report. For me, it took a mix of mentors, masala burrito, and moments of Spotify procrastination. So here’s my shoutout list, with all the love: • Andreas Brück: A mentor who didn’t just guide my project but also my existential musings about life (and trees). • LABOR K //// K LAB (TU Berlin) & Institut für Stadt und Regionalplanung - TU Berlin: Felipe Vergara (tech wizard), Georg Mueller (philosopher over biryani), and Megha Tyagi, PhD (for ensuring Hindi wasn’t forgotten in Berlin). • DAAD German Academic Exchange Service & DAAD India: You gave me the wings—and the visa stamp. • National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli & Ramesh Srikrishnaperumal Sir: You believed in this journey before I did. • Reap Benefit & Hema Hattangady Ma’am: Thank you for seeing the forest in me, not just the tree. • Family: Because no accomplishment is real unless your parents say, “Beta, accha hai.” • Friends & Pop Culture: Nilofer M, Sankara Vinayagam T, and Rishal Hussain, for being the Avengers of my support, even across time zones. ⏳ A Time Capsule from Past Posts Each post marked a different layer of this journey. (Fun fact: A LinkedIn post can be both a breadcrumb trail and a digital diary!) 💼 So... What Kept Me Busy in Berlin? https://lnkd.in/gjTKZC3M 🌡️ Too Hot to Handle?

#Story | Every day, outside Magadi Road Metro Station in Bengaluru, over 100 students faced the risky challenge of crossing a chaotic road where traffic rules seemed invisible. For 14-year-old Dimple, an 8th grader at Police Colony School, this wasn’t just an inconvenience—it was a problem she had to solve. Dimple and her friends began observing the traffic and noticed patterns: reckless speeding, wrong parking, and drivers ignoring rules. They took their findings to the traffic police, who encouraged them to dig deeper. Together, they gathered data—accident statistics, reckless driving cases, and the growing risks at the junction. The numbers were startling: in three years, 14 fatalities and over 70 accidents caused by violations like overspeeding and riding without helmets. With this data, Dimple and her classmates proposed practical solutions, like raising the median to prevent unsafe crossings and installing speed bumps to slow down vehicles. But they didn’t stop at suggestions—they took action. Dimple led awareness drives at the junction, speaking to drivers and sharing the harsh realities behind the statistics. Her words weren’t lectures—they were heartfelt, earnest pleas from a young girl who wanted safer roads for everyone. Beyond the junction, Dimple organized workshops for her community and school, where over 100 people learned about road safety and their role in keeping the roads safe. Monthly sessions with traffic police became a platform for students to discuss safety measures and spread awareness further. The impact was clear. Drivers started slowing down, students felt safer crossing the road, and the community began taking ownership of the issue. Dimple’s story isn’t about grand gestures. It’s about a young girl who saw a problem and decided to act. Her courage and collaboration show that anyone—no matter their age—can spark meaningful change. So, the next time you see a problem in your community, think of Dimple. Maybe you could be the one to start something too. #SolveNinja #OwnYourChange #NinjasInAction Subhani m n Nirmala Naik
